RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #29-525-10 with First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission, to pay County an amount not to exceed $315,450, to provide wraparound and other mental health services for children ages 0 to 5 years, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in $315,450 for FY 2014-2015 from First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission (Proposition 10 – First Five funds) for wraparound and other mental health services for children. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

This Early Mental Health System of Care Program will serve children under six years of age, and their families, who have serious mental health and behavior problems that have caused, or threaten to cause, out-of-home placements, loss of day-care and school placements, and the need for special education or non-public school intervention.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 17, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #29-525-9 with First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, to pay County for the provision of wraparound and other mental health services for children ages 0 to 5 years.

Approval of Interagency Agreement #29-525-10 will allow County’s Behavioral Health Services Division to continue to provide wraparound and other mental health services to children through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s clients, ages 0 – 5 at We Care Services for Children, Lynn Center, and Early Childhood Mental Health Program will not receive the wraparound treatment services that they need.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School” and “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”. Expected program outcomes include success in school, a decrease in behavior problems, and a reduction in the number of out-of-home placements.
